next_check
ts in ExecuteCheck
only if it's needed
Since the scheduler accounts for already running checks, we only need to update the `next_check` timestamp in `Checkable::ExecuteCheck()` only where it actually makes sense to do so, and as for local checks this doesn't make sense at all. There only two cases where we need to update the next check beforehand: 1) The execute command event is sent to a connected remote endpoint, so we need to set the next check to a time in the future until we actually receive the check result back from the remote endpoint. However, it must not be too far in the future to avoid that the check is not re-run for too long in case the remote endpoint never responds. 2) The check is a remote check, but either the endpoint is currently syncing replay logs or not connected at all, and we are within the magical 5min cold startup window. In these cases, the check is effectively skipped, and there will be no check result for it coming in, we manually update the next check normally as if the check was executed. In the other cases, either the check is executed locally, which means the `m_RunningCheck` flag already prevents the scheduler from re-running the check, or this is a remote check and the endpoint is not connected, but we are outside the cold startup window, in which case we also don't do anything as we've already called `Checkable::ProcessCheckResult()` with an appropriate error state, which in turn will call `Checkable::UpdateNextCheck()`.

About
Icinga is a monitoring system which checks the availability of your network resources, notifies users of outages, and generates performance data for reporting.
Scalable and extensible, Icinga can monitor large, complex environments across multiple locations.
Icinga 2 is the monitoring server and requires Icinga Web 2 on top in your Icinga Stack. The configuration can be easily managed with either the Icinga Director, config management tools or plain text within the Icinga DSL.
